Roscosmos shifts the development timeline for the Angara-A5V rocket

The rocket should appear in 2030 — 4 years earlier

The development of the heavy-lift launch vehicle Angara-A5V with a hydrogen-oxygen third stage is planned to be completed by 2030. This was announced by the head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Bakanov.

The development timeline for the hydrogen-oxygen third stage, which will allow launching not 2.5 tons to geostationary orbit, but up to 4, has been moved from 2034 to 2030.

Roscosmos is also considering pricing issues for launches of the heavy-lift Angara-A5V rocket to ensure its economic efficiency. This will make the launch more affordable and competitive in the international arena.

Thus, accelerating the development of Angara-A5V could be an important step for the Russian space program and increase the country's capabilities in launching heavy cargo into orbit.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that Angara-A5 will launch from Vostochny in April 2024.
